I've seen/read of way more instances of ProChargers with leaking seals getting sent back / rebuilt.
Anyone ever have a problem with a Whipple? I think Twin Screw superchargers are more reliable....

like said, do you want instant torque/power in the lower rpm's, or do you want the power to build higher in the rpm's. also, are you installing it yourself? might want to do some searches and look for members who have done the installs theirselves. i chose the whipple because it was more of a complete kit and i got it for a good deal, and i installed it myself to keep the overall cost down.

ProChargers kit is complete as well. Only thing I had to buy to finish the install was heat shrink with solder in them to connect some wire splices. Did it in about 13 hrs with some goofing off and picture taking.

I gotta say, I really like the whistle the pro charger makes (although I think the unit itself looks weird). There's no hiding that there's some monster power when being next to a car with one.
It always seemed odd to me that with a pro charger the air filter is at the rear of the engine compartment where the hottest air will be. But I guess the intercooler makes up for that.
Also, why are you only looking at whipple and pro charger? What about Kenne Bell and Paxton/Vortech or even Roush TVS? Gosh...so many options! LOL.

A twin screw supercharger will make more power "under the curve" below 5000 RPM on 8 psi, then a Centri does pushing 10 psi. So, for a street car you are getting more usable power with a twin-screw. After overlaying dyno charts (from the same shop) centri vs twinscrew....I went TS.
